In war - prisoners of war are simply "guilty" of being the enemy. If you accept the fact we are at war, then the concept of "prisoner of war" has to be accepted. Prisoners of war are generally held captive until the war is over. It would be silly for an army to capture the enemy and then release the enemy to return to the battle. If you don't accept the fact we are at war, I understand how you see these captives from a "police" point of view and why they should be tried in a court of law.
